 Hi Martin,
 
 Using nsgmls is not the recommended way of building or testing the
 documentation, as far as I know.  If you use the doc/ Makefiles, then
 the correct SGML_CATALOG_FILES will be used.  You can even build the
 doc/ tree _without_ _anything_ in SGML_CATALOG_FILES.
 
 I'm not sure I would find it nice if we started recommending that people
 bypass the entire doc/ Makefile framework and use nsgmls manually
 themselves.
